verse 1
A boy and a girl, albatross around their necks
Hands burning from the rope, ships stranded in the tropics
Acidification wiped out the tiger shark
Let's try to save their souls, and trust the man with the Torah
We got the wind in our sail, like Darwin on the Beagle
Or Mendel experimenting with a pea
We got the wind in our sail (in our sail, our sail)
And we can do so many great things together, together
verse 2
Breathe in the salt, slicing waves at forty knots
Cumulonimbus in the sky, this is what we've waited for
And now there's no more hyperventilating in wheelchairs
We're gonna save the last dog on Funk Islands
We're had to do it wrong before we could do it right
We got the wind in our sail, like Darwin on the Beagle
Or Mendel experimenting with a pea
We got the wind in our sail (in our sail, our sail)
And we can do so many great things together, together
Bridge
Pushing the stone up the hill and if it rolls back
Down, whoa, Sisyphus it rolls back down
Pushing the stone up the hill and if it rolls back
Down, whoa, Sisyphus it rolls back down
We got the wind in our sail, like Darwin on the Beagle
Or Mendel experimenting with a pea
We got the wind in our sail (in our sail, our sail)
And we can do so many great things together, together
We got the wind in our sail (we got the wind in our sail)
